Don't miss our upcoming workshop on how to use death and funeral records in the search for your ancestors. Sue from the Clayton Library in Houston will be visiting to give us an in-depth look at where to find these types of records and what information you can get from them. Join us on Monday, July 22nd at 12:00pm.

Welcome to Alisha, the Katy Library's new Technology Training Assistant. Stop by and say hello, and come join her classes starting on Monday, July 22nd at 10:15am. Check out our calendar for other computer classes already on the schedule.

Kids, do you read a lot? I mean, A LOT! You should be signed up for summer reading at the Katy Library. If you read 100 books by the end of our Summer Reading Program (August 10), you become a member of our 100 Book Club. You'll be issued a membership card, and this year you'll also receive an aviator hat. Keep reading!

Hot topics have a way of getting a conversation started - for better or worse. Do you ever feel you don't know enough about an issue to really discuss it with someone else? We have series of books on almost any topic you could imagine that give intelligent viewpoints for every side of the issue. Look for the At Issue or Opposing Viewpoints series on the topic of your choice.

When I was little, I learned to stop biting my fingernails. I don't remember... how did I do it? Jeremy Dean has written a new book to help us figure it out: Making Habits, Breaking Habits. Check it out.

It's finally here - summer reading! The theme is "Have Book - Will Travel", and we'll help you along the way. Our flight attendants are ready, and the checkin desk opens at 10:00am on Monday, 6/03/13. Come travel with us this summer!
